When asked which party they
would support if an election for the U.S. House of
Representatives were held today, 43 percent of those polled said
they would support the Democrat to 35 percent supporting the
Republican.

This is the lowest support for
the generic Republican ballot since November 2011, and a good
sign for Democrats,
who in 2014 will have their last chance to take back the House of
Representatives while President Barack Obama remains in
office.

Democrats need to win 18 seats
in order to take the majority. Despite the positive poll numbers,
however, the midterms will remain an uphill battle given how
solidly the GOP holds on to a large number of their seats.

Also of interest is the early returns among Republicans for a
potential slate of 2016 candidates.
